"The samsung label of the clone one is just printed with a plastic strip..."

It is hard to identify the original from the clone one if you compare it by their appearances. It is 98% the same in appearance. However, Iâ€™ve notice slight difference at the back of the casing of the clone one. The Samsung label of the clone one is just printed with a plastic strip, whereas the original is embossed on its case. Check also the camera mounting, the clone one is just mounted on the same surface, while the original is slightly protruding.

But, the real test here is when you turn on the device. Check if there is â€śSamsung Appsâ€ť installed, thereâ€™s no way a clone one could have access the Samsung app store, check carefully the clone one uses only â€śAppsâ€ť while the original uses â€śSamsung Appsâ€ť.

Check also the features and specifications of that device. For example, Samsung S3 runs Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS, uses Touchwiz and a Quad Core Exynos processor that gives an excellent performance. Clone devices uses 1GHz or a Single Core processor. Check also the Camera quality. The clone one gives you a dull photo while the original gives a clear and stunning photos even in a not so well background or in a low light condition.

And most important thing to remember for you to avoid confusion, make sure you buy your device from an authorized retailer. Prices may differ, but in the end itâ€™s worth it.

"The antenna design is smaller in newer phones to save space and rely on..."

Probably because the antenna design is smaller in newer phones to save space and rely on the fact that there are more transmitters around per cell phone company. If you look in an older phone the antenna is more like a proper printed circuit board track but the newer smart phones have an antenna that is more like a metallic paint on a piece of plastic.
